SPECIFIC A'I.ION forming part of Letters Patent No. 780,491, dated January 24, 1905.

- bined Lamp and Horn; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

The front portion of automobile carriages is generally very much encumbered with apparatus near the drivers seat, and when the steering mechanism and gear for actuating the necessary brakes, as well as the lamps prescribed by regulation, have been arranged in their proper'positions it is often very difficult to arrange for the horn to be so placed that the bulb is close at hand.

The arrangement which is the subject of the present invention effects an improved accommodation of horn and lamp, with a great economy of space and enhanced appearance.

My invention consists in the combination of a horn and a regulation lamp. For this purpose the trumpet or mouthpiece through which the air issues from the horn forms a support for the lamp, the greater part of the latter being contained within the trumpetshaped mouthpiece without filling it up entirely, leaving'between it and the mouthpiece an annular space sufficient for the passage of the air.

The accompanying drawings show as representative examples two practical forms for the carrying out of this invention. In thedrawings, Figure 1 is alongitudinal sectional elevation of one form of the apparatus. Fig. 2 is an outside elevation of the same. Fig. 3 is a front view. Fig. 4 is a back view; and Figs. 5 and'6 represent in side elevation and a front view, respectively, an alternative form of construction. 1

The horn a, made of copper, bronze,or other suitable metal, is terminated at the rear portion by a pipe 6, the end of which is connected onto the neck of an india-rubber bulb c.

' cl is the socket which carries the burner for a petroleum, oil, acetylene, or other lamp or the base of an electric lamp. This socket, which can be outside of the mouthpiece of the horn a, is connected onto a cylinder 0, made in one with the mouthpiece a and passing through it. This cylinder opens into a conical shaped metal chamber f, which forms the body'or case of the lamp. The case f is closed in front by the glass or lens 9. It is closed at the back and is surmounted by the chimney it, which projects through a and is surmounted by the cap 1;. The space m between the case f, the cylinders e and 7b, and the interior surface of the trumpet-shaped mouthpiece 61/ allows air to escape to the outside.

The mouthpiece a is provided with a device 9 for securing it to the carriage.

It is of course understood that the shape, dimensions, proportions, and other details of the apparatus can be varied. For example, the coil- 6, as in the form of construction represented in side and front elevation, respectively, in Figs. 5 and 6, can be placed in the case f, made in one with the mouthpiece a, the end of this coil projecting from the case by a tube to. which is connected the rubber bulb or a flexible pipe carrying the bulb.

The combination of a horn with a lamp can be effected either by placing a lamp or the case of a lamp inside the mouthpiece of the horn in such a way as to allow air driven by pressure from a bulb, pump, or bellows to escape throughit, or by the arrangement around a lamp of any known construction of a covering, leaving a space for air to escape and connected to any known blowing apparatus.

Having thus disclosed my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is

1. As a new article of manufacture, a lamp, and a horn enveloping with its mouthpiece the body portion of the lamp.

2. As a new article of manufacture, a lamp-
